Answer:

Slope of given line =
(-9)/(4) and slope of perpendicular line =
(4)/(9)

Explanation:

We are given a line -9x - 4y = 5 .

We have to find the slope of a line parallel to this line and also a line perpendicular to this line.

Let the general equation be ax + by = c.

Then the slope of this line =
(-a)/(b) =
(-9)/(4)

The slope of a line perpendicular to a line is the negative inverse of the slope of the line. Using this concept,

Slope of line perpendicular to the given line =
(b)/(a) =
(4)/(9)
